THE TOWN OF MARYBOROUGH
Welcome to Maryborough, the heart of the Central Goldfield’s Shire. Experience the region’s grand buildings, historic cottages, gracious homes, and walk in the footsteps of the prospectors of the gold mining era.
Maryborough features a splendid array of heritage buildings centred around the Maryborough Civic Centre. The elegant architecture of The Court House, Town Hall, Post Office and Old Fire Station display the fine workmanship of a bygone era.
Today’s visitors come to visit the regional parks and reservoirs, wander through the lovely box-ironbark forests with its wildflowers, birds and superb display of Wattle in the spring, cycle one of the 15 cycling tracks, to research family history, to visit nearby wineries or explore markets, galleries and museums.
Maryborough has proudly hosted the RACV Energy Breakthrough event since 1991.
RACV Energy Breakthrough is the premier science, technology, engineering and maths, active learning program in Australia. Held each year, over four days in late November, the event attracts 30,000 people to the town from around the country and internationally.
6,000 school participants attend to celebrate learning, innovation, creativity, collaboration and human endeavour, by competing in team events racing human powered vehicles around Lake Victoria.
